The dash? It’s a respectful thing. Others see it as a form of blasphemy. G-d’s names should never be written on a piece of paper where it can be destroyed, but actually I think that would be closer to the Hebrew name, not the G word, but even so, the habit of not actually spelling it took form.

Yes I remember now, someone not here for a while said it was a form of respect and used it that way.

No doubt I will sound disrespectful to some, but good grief; intelligent sentients who give a shit about spelling of words??

No doubt I said something similar before, but this is stupidity in its most genetically fundamental form.
